I just bought a new throw out bearing and according to my haynes manual it says to pack the inside of the bearing with lithium grease. I have white based lithium grease in a spray aresol can. Should I spray this into the opening on the inside diameter of the bearing or just use wheel bearing grease? I put wheel bearing grease on my old one and unless its just that it was already going bad I just had the car out for the first time today and the old bearing is screaming. So I dont want to make the same mistake with the new one. So any help would be appreciated.

only put regular grease on the clutch pivot ball thing, you can add lithium to the bearing but it should come coated with special grease already and that is enough

if you pack it yourself the grease will sling out onto your clutch disk/flywheel/pressure plate, and oil on those DRY surfaces will make your clutch slip..if the TB is old, replace it
